Looking@Leadership
A Creative Visual Exploration by Fran Kick
A complete facilitator kit (deck of 200 image cards, video, and facilitator guide) will guide you to discover what represents leadership to you, your organization, and how it impacts what you do. Everyone sees leadership from a unique perspective and this training tool video/meeting opener with twelve different activities to choose from will help you learn that visually and interactively. A beautiful and insightful way to help you:
- Experience, share, and inspire a deeper understanding of leadership.
- Build more meaningful interpretations of what leadership looks like.
- See how your “mind’s eye” creates connections between people and ideas.
- Adapt your vision to many individual and organizational learning opportunities.
- Bring together and compare multiple perspectives of leadership.
All images represent and build on both the research-based theories and real-world realities of leadership.

REVIEWS
“I especially like the PDF with all the activities. There are many I would not have thought of. I found myself reading them and adding my own twists too—great fun. I used your Looking@Leadership cards to set group norms. As was expected, the use of the cards is what really made the activity sing. I had them on the tables when people arrived so there was immediate interest. Then, the large-sized pictures became an effective reminder and shorthand for people to stay on track throughout the day. Thanks again for a wonderfully versatile product!”
Brian Remer, HR Training and Engagement Specialist
Vermont Department of Human Resources
“The Looking@Leadership card deck offered a simple, yet very effective conversation starting point to brainstorm ideas around what leadership means to different people. It was an excellent way of getting everyone in the group engaged without putting anyone ‘on the spot’ and it also helped with the ability to be creative in the process.”
Wendy Roop, Director, Customer Care Team
McGohan Brabender
“I frequently use the Looking@Leadership card deck because it provides high quality and thought-provoking images to facilitate leadership groups or team building sessions with my clients. I particularly like using the images as a tool to create conversations that help participants hold a positive perspective during leadership challenges.”

“Fran Kick’s Looking@ Leadership and Looking@Followership cards are gorgeous, fun, useful, thought-provoking and conversation-provoking. They help people engage with each other, gain self-insight and share their own stories about leading and following. What a brilliant way to get any group of people learning about the equally valuable roles of leadership and followership quickly and in a cost-effective way.”
Samantha Hurwitz, CPA CHRL
Co-author of Leadership Is Half The Story and Co-founder of FliP U and the Global Followership Conference
“First, I use a lot of different sets of cards, and yours by far and away are the best. The pictures are fabulous! Love your selection of images, by far the best of the many sets of picture decks I have. I prefer your images to those from Visual Explorer®, VisualsSpeak™, Expression Cards, etc. I love the images and the size. They are so much more convenient to pack up and use, especially for large groups. Your Looking@Leadership cards have rapidly become my cards of choice!”

“…many amazing ways that one can use your (very cool) cards, and I am in the process of adapting them for some of the workshops that I facilitate. The photos, from purely an aesthetic perspective, are extraordinary. The astonishing palette of colors, coupled with the compositional attributes, make Looking@Leadership a treat for the eyes.”
